Hi

I’m after a recipe of anyone has 1 for elderflower cordial that will store until next year.
It’s all 2 of my kids will drink and costs a flipping fortune.  I have 12 bushes so want to use
Can anyone suggest a recipe to try please.
Thank you

I haven't got a recipe that works. We tried one using the bushes we have here and it was a complete disaster- tasted 'off'. We ended up asking a friend to bring some over from Waitrose. Yes, it was very expensive (and we avoided import duty).


Try your kids on some of the other cordials- peach, raspberry, strawberry etc.

You need citric acid to make sure it stays good.
I made it last year and the year before
I use the Country Living Recipe

It's delicious - I'm addicted to it too
I use it in soda water and in tonic
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.
